1. I greatly doubt the accuracy of the data. What is called poor is highly subjective and contextual. It, like the VAST majority of studies down in the humanities is a thinly veiled propaganda piece pretending to be objective.
2. People who are not in a position to be able to raise children in a healthy loving manner should be dis-incentivized from pro-creating. Extending the largess that society does encourages more dysfunctionality.
3. Do you really want to discuss the dominant message of Christianity? The Sermon on the Mount which Jesus gave prior to his resurrection is intended to show the futility of trying to live by Mosaic law. It's purpose is to say, you are not able to fulfill what Moses commanded you and I tell you that if you want to repair your rupture with God the Law of Moses is not enough, this is what you must do to have a Law-based covenant. The purpose is to show that no one can succeed on that basis. Jesus, then offers a new way, His crucifixation and resurrection.
4. I do not care if that women or anyone else wears polka-dots and dances upside-down... Until she comes to me and says, "hey I, my parents, my community, the inane values from the PC culture are a mess -- I want you to pay for these errors." Ain't gonna happen.
Write more.
This is fun.
